Graveyard [after sunset]
Anakin was following Vladdie through the graveyard on the way back to the house.
Just like he'd been following Vladdie as he sniffed every Interesting Thing!, Shiny Thing! and Potential Food Thing! all evening.
"Come on, boy," he said, rolling his eyes. "There are equally exciting pieces of dust at home. We've been out here for an hour."
Vampire!
There was a rustling around the graveyard as a couple of figures stalked the man and his flying dog, waiting for the right moment to strike.
Anakin Skywalker
As soon as Anakin realized the rustling wasn't coming from Vladdie, he stopped walking. His hand reached towards the hilt of his lightsaber.
"Who's there?" he demanded.
Vampire!
There was only silence in return.
At least until three vampires jumped out and snarled at Anakin.
Anakin Skywalker
"You are not supposed to be here," Anakin snarled, igniting the lightsaber. "Vladdie, back!" he snapped at the puppy who was zipping off to explore New Friends, Yay!
Rory would kill him if anything happened to that dog.
Vampire!
The vampires circled the Jedi. Well... two circled. One kept trying to shoo the flying dog out of his face.
Anakin Skywalker
Anakin rested on the balls of his feet, then moved, lightning-fast, towards the nearest vampire.
"Vladdie, back," he commanded, then reached into the Force to move the puppy out of the combat zone.
Vampire!
The nearest vampire ducked down under the blade and attempted a leg sweep maneuver while the remaining two vampires tried to flank Anakin while he attacked.
Anakin Skywalker
The leg sweep would have worked if Anakin's legs had still been there, but he had tucked himself into a flip and was now facing the three vampires from the other side.
"You picked the wrong time to show yourselves," Anakin said, eyes blazing, then swept the lightsaber towards the nearest one's head.
Vampire!
The vampire's head flew off in a nice arc before it and body quickly dissolved into dust.
Not wasting a moment's time the other two vampires tried rushed into attack Anakin before he could recover.
Anakin Skywalker
Anakin twitched a hand out and reached into the Force, aiming to toss one of the vampires a good hundred feet away so he could concentrate on the second.
Vampire!
The vampire flew off to the other side of the graveyard, grunting as it smacked into the church wall. Meanwhile the other vampire threw out a punch and a spinning kick at his opponent.
Anakin Skywalker
Anakin ducked the punch but caught the kick straight in the stomach. "You're beginning to piss me off," he said with a glare.
Vampire!
The vampire snarled in response and leaped at Anakin in an effort to tackle him to the ground.
Anakin Skywalker
Anakin's lightsaber went spinning out of his hand as he fell over. The muscles in his jaw clenched as he reached for the vampire, intent on smacking its head into a nearby tombstone.
Vampire!
The vampire flew back, smashing violently into the tombstone and sat there on a ground for a few moments trying to recover.
The other vampire was already rushing back towards Anakin, keen on getting his prey.
Anakin Skywalker
Anakin called the lightsaber back to his hand and mentally counted down the seconds it would take for the second vampire to be in prime skewering territory.
Vladdie, meanwhile, came sneaking back and pawed at the stunned vampire's nose. //Play now, Friend Who Smells Like Me?// he yipped, hovering happily in front of him. //Play, play, play!//
Vampire!
The vampire snarled at the... WTF? Flying dog? And batted his hands at the thing in an effort to get rid of the mongrel.
The other vampire jumped into the air attempted to do a flying kick at Jedi's head.
Anakin Skywalker
Anakin's blade moved neatly to slice the vampire's leg off. "Don't do that," he told him.
In another part of the graveyard, Vladdie was loving the new game. He did a flip in the air, yipping shrilly. Could his new friend do a flip in the air, too?
Vampire!
The leg went flying in one direction and the vampire's momentum flew in another. The missing-leg vampire landed with a thump on the ground where it stared at its stump. IT'S ONLY A FLESH WOUND
The other vampire, finally getting its bearings, attempted a full-fledged swat at the yippy dog.
Anakin Skywalker
"I told you," Anakin said, staring down at the vampire, then swiping the lightsaber at his head just before Vladdie went rocketing into his chest, whining pitifully.
"You tried to hit a puppy?" Anakin snarled, whirling around. "What's wrong with you?"
Vampire, Anakin. Vam.pire.
Vampire!
For the first time the vampire snarled something articulate.
"I'm evil. Duh."
And then got up into a fighting stance.
Anakin Skywalker
Vladdie curled himself up in Anakin's hood and laid his head down on Anakin's shoulder with a tired sigh.
Anakin stalked towards the vampire, lightsaber still extended. "You're going to be dead. Duh. What possessed you to come to Fandom anyway, moron?"
Vampire!
"Well I hear that the weather is very nice this time of year," the vampire snarked as he rolled his eyes. "Do you really think this is some James Bund movie where we'll reveal our plans to you at a mere question?"
Anakin Skywalker
Anakin shrugged. "It was worth a try," he said, stepping closer. "You certainly don't seem very bright."
Vampire!
"And you wouldn't be so tough without your little toy," the vampire countered as he kept his distance between himself and Anakin's lightsaber.
Anakin Skywalker
Anakin waved his hand and a pointy stick lifted from the leaves and debris on the ground.
He shot it towards the vampire with lethal velocity.
"Sure I would."
Vampire!
The stake hit its mark and the vampire was able to give Anakin a look of righteous indignation before exploding into dust.
Anakin Skywalker
"I have a bad feeling about this," Anakin muttered to Vladdie. "Let's go home. I need to make some calls."
